Four year
old students create owl sculptures
Hung on tree on Historical Society
Four year old students in Danielle Herring’s Pre-k class created
these beautiful glazed owl sculptures, based on the book Owl
Babies by Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson. The Owl Baby
Tree was on display at the Schenectady County Historical Society
Festival of Trees.
Art Teacher Cindy Turgeon introduced sculpture to students by
having students form clay into shapes. Students were taught how
artists use shape and texture to create a sculpture. Each child
added texture to their sculpture by using wooden tools to create
feathers, a beak and eyes for their owl. The sculptures were
then fired in a kiln. Students then glazed the sculptures to add
color and detail to each owl.
This project is part of collaboration between the Schenectady
County Historical Society and Fulton Early Childhood Education
Center. This collaboration focuses on introducing local history
to SCSD Pre-k and Kindergarten students.
